atm uni-version

To specify the User-Network Interface (UNI) version (3.0 or 3.1) the router should use when Interim Local Management Interface (ILMI) link autodetermination is unsuccessful or ILMI is disabled, use the atm uni-version interface configuration command. To restore the default value to 3.0, use the no form of this command.

atm uni-version version-number

Command History

Release

Modification

11.2

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Normally, when the ILMI link autodetermination is enabled on the interface and is successful, the router accepts the UNI version returned by ILMI. If the ILMI link autodetermination is unsuccessful or ILMI is disabled, the UNI version defaults to 3.0. You can override the default UNI version by using this command to enable UNI 3.1 signalling support. The no form of the command sets the UNI version to one returned by ILMI if ILMI is enabled and the link autodetermination process is successful. Otherwise, the UNI version reverts to 3.0.

Examples

The following example specifies UNI version 3.1 signalling port on the ATM interface 2/0:

interface atm 2/0

atm uni-version 3.1

atm vc-per-vp

To set the maximum number of virtual channel identifier (VCIs) to support per virtual path identifier (VPI), use the atm vc-per-vp interface configuration command. To restore the default value, use the no form of this command.

Modification

10.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command is supported on Cisco 7500 series routers, but not on Cisco 4500 and Cisco 4700 routers. This command is not supported on ATM port adapters.

This command allows you to specify a virtual path identifier (VPI) or range of VPIs to be used for ATM adaptation layer 3/4 (AAL3/4) processing. All other VPIs map to AAL5 processing. If only AAL5 processing is required, you can either let the virtual path filter default or set it to an arbitrary VPI so that AAL5 processing is performed on all VPIs.

This command configures the hexadecimal value used in the virtual path filter register in the reassembly operation. The virtual path filter comprises 16 bits. The virtual path filter register uses the most significant bits (bits 15 through 8, the left half of the filter) as mask bits, and uses bits 7 through 0 (the right half of the filter) as compare bits.

When a cell is received, the right half of the filter is exclusively NORed with the binary value of the incoming VPI. The result is then ORed with the left half of the filter (the mask). If the result is all 1s, then reassembly is done using the VCI/message identifier (MID) table (AAL3/4 processing). Otherwise, reassembly is done using the VPI-VCI pair table (AAL5 processing).

Examples

In the following example, all incoming cells are reassembled using AAL3/4 processing:

atm vp-filter ff00

In the following example, all incoming cells with the virtual path equal to 0 are reassembled using AAL3/4 processing; all other cells are reassembled using AAL5 processing:

atm vp-filter 0

In the following example, all incoming cells with the most significant bit of the virtual path set are reassembled using AAL3/4 processing; all other cells are reassembled using AAL5 processing:

atm vp-filter 7f80

broadcast

To configure broadcast packet duplication and transmission for an ATM virtual circuit (VC) class, permanent virtual circuit (PVC), switched virtual circuit (SVC), or VC bundle, use the broadcast command in the appropriate command mode. To disable transmission of broadcast packets for your ATM VC class, PVC, SVC, or VC bundle, use the no form of this command. To restore the default behavior according to the description in the following "Usage Guidelines" section, use the default form of this command.

Command Modes

Interface-ATM-VC configuration (for ATM PVCs and SVCs)

VC-class configuration (for a VC-class)

Bundle configuration (for a VC bundle)

PVC range configuration (for an ATM PVC range)

PVC-in-range configuration (for an individual PVC within a PVC range)

Command History

Release

Modification

11.3 T

This command was introduced.

12.0(3)T

Enhancements were added for configuration of broadcast packet duplication and transmission for an ATM VC bundle.

12.1(5)T

This command was made available in PVC range and PVC-in-range configuration modes.

Usage Guidelines

If broadcasting and multipoint signalling are enabled on an SVC, a multipoint SVC will be created to handle the SVC.

Note If you use the broadcast command to configure broadcasting for an ATM PVC or SVC, VC-class, or VC bundle, this configuration takes precedence over any previous configuration using the broadcast command.

If the broadcast command is not explicitly configured on an ATM PVC, SVC, or VC bundle, the VC inherits the following default configuration (listed in order of precedence):

•Configuration of the broadcast command in a VC class assigned to the PVC, SVC, or VC bundle itself.

•Configuration of the broadcast command in a VC class assigned to the PVC's, SVC's, or VC bundle's ATM subinterface.

•Configuration of the broadcast command in a VC class assigned to the PVC's, SVC's, or VC bundle's ATM main interface.

Note When a VC is a member of a VC bundle, configuration using the broadcast command in VC-class configuration mode no longer applies to the VC. Bundle configuration takes precedence.

To use the broadcast command in bundle configuration mode, enter the bundle command to enact bundle configuration mode for the bundle for which you want to enable broadcast forwarding.

Examples

The following example enables the transmission of broadcast packets on an ATM PVC named router5:

pvc router5 1/32
broadcast

The following example enables the transmission of broadcast packets on an ATM PVC bundle named chicago:

Configures a static map for an ATM PVC, SVC, VC class, or VC bundle. Enables Inverse ARP or Inverse ARP broadcasts on an ATM PVC by either configuring Inverse ARP directly on the PVC, on the VC bundle, or in a VC class (applies to IP and IPX protocols only).

Usage Guidelines

The clock mode must be synchronous for structured mode. In unstructured mode, use the adaptive keyword when a network-derived clock is not available.

Use the srts keyword when a network-derived clock is available but devices attached to the CES port use a different clock reference. The srts keyword samples the incoming clock, subtracts from the network clock, and sends the remainder in an AAL1 header. The clock is reconstructed during output by adding the residual to the network reference.

Use the synchronous keyword for all other modes.

Modification

Usage Guidelines

Channel-associated signalling (CAS) provides information about the time slot (on or off the hook) and is updated once per multiframe.

With both the CAS and on-hook detection features enabled, these features work together to enable an ingress node in an ATM network to monitor on-hook and off-hook conditions for a specified 1 x 64 structured CES circuit. As implied by the notation "1 x 64," the on-hook detection (or bandwidth-release) feature is supported only in a structured CES circuit that involves a single time slot at each end of the connection.

The time slot configured for the structured CES circuit at the ingress node (time slot 2) can be different from the DS0 time slot configured at the egress node (time slot 4). Only one such time slot can be configured at each end of the circuit when the on-hook detection feature is used.

When you invoke the on-hook feature, the ingress ATM-CES port adapter monitors the ABCD bits in the incoming CBR bit stream to detect on-hook and off-hook conditions in the circuit. In an "off-hook" condition, all the bandwidth provisioned for the specified CES circuit is used for transporting ATM AAL1 cells across the network from the ingress node to the egress node.

In an on-hook condition, the network periodically sends dummy ATM cells from the ingress node to the egress node to maintain the connection. However, these dummy cells consume only a fraction of the circuit's reserved bandwidth, leaving the rest of the bandwidth available for use by other network traffic. This bandwidth-release feature enables the network to make more efficient use of its resources.

When the CAS feature is enabled for a CES circuit, the bandwidth of the DS0 channel is limited to 56 kbps for user data, because CAS functions consume 8 kbps of channel bandwidth for transporting the ABCD signalling bits. These signalling bits are passed transparently from the ingress node to the egress node as part of the ATM AAL1 cell stream.

In summary, when the optional CAS and on-hook detection features are enabled, the following conditions apply:

•During an on-hook state, most of the bandwidth reserved for the CES circuit is not in use. (Dummy cells are sent from the ingress node to the egress node to maintain the connection.) Therefore, this bandwidth becomes available for use by other network traffic, such as available bit rate (ABR) traffic.

•During an off-hook state, all the bandwidth reserved for the CES circuit is dedicated to that circuit.

Modification

Usage Guidelines

A T1 frame consists of 24 time slots (DS0) that send at a rate of 64 kbps. T1 defines the ability to send signalling in-band on individual time slots by removing the low bit of each byte for signalling in robbedbit mode. This procedure allows 8 kbps for signalling and leaves 56 kbps for data.

In structured mode, you can send the T1 signalling information across the network. Structured mode means that after you enable robbedbit signalling mode on the port, and enable CAS on individual circuits that need this type of service, you are robbing bits from the DS0. The system then puts the bits in the specified format to be sent across the network and reinserts them at the passive side on the CES-IWF connection.

The following example enables channel-associated signalling and robbed bit signalling:

Modification

11.3(4)T

This command was introduced, replacing the class command for assigning VC classes to ATM main interfaces or subinterfaces.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to assign a previously defined set of parameters (defined in a VC class) to an ATM main interface or subinterface. To create a VC class that defines these parameters, use the vc-class atm command. Refer to the section "Configuring VC Classes" in the "Configuring ATM" chapter of the Cisco IOS Wide-Area Networking Configuration Guide for more information.

To use this command for assigning a VC class to an ATM main interface or subinterface, you must first enter the interface atm command to enter interface configuration mode.

When you create a VC class for an ATM main interface or subinterface, you can use the following commands to define your parameters: abr, broadcast, bump, encapsulation, idle-timeout, ilmi manage, inarp, oam-bundle, oam-pvc, oam retry, oam-svc, protocol, ubr, ubr+, and vbr-nrt.

Parameters applied to an individual VC supersede interface- and subinterface-level parameters. Parameters that are configured for a VC through discrete commands entered in interface-ATM-VC configuration mode supersede VC class parameters assigned to an ATM main interface or subinterface by the class-int command.

Examples

In the following example, a class called classA is first created and then applied to an ATM main interface 2/0:

Configures a static map for an ATM PVC, SVC, VC class, or VC bundle. Enables Inverse ARP or Inverse ARP broadcasts on an ATM PVC by either configuring Inverse ARP directly on the PVC, on the VC bundle, or in a VC class (applies to IP and IPX protocols only).

12.1(5)T

This command was made available in PVC-in-range configuration mode.

Usage Guidelines

Use this command to assign a previously defined set of parameters (defined in a VC class) to an ATM PVC, SVC, or VC bundle member. To create a VC class that defines these parameters, use the vc-class atm command. Refer to the section "Configuring VC Classes" in the "Configuring ATM" chapter of the Cisco IOS Wide-Area Networking Configuration Guide for more information.

ATM PVCs and SVCs

To use this command for assigning a VC class to an ATM PVC or SVC, you must first enter the interface atm command in global configuration mode and then the pvc or svc command in interface configuration mode.

When you create a VC class for an ATM PVC or SVC, you can use the following commands to define your parameters: abr, broadcast, bump, encapsulation, idle-timeout, ilmi manage, inarp, oam-bundle, oam-pvc, oam retry, oam-svc, protocol, ubr, ubr+, and vbr-nrt.

Parameters that are configured for a PVC or SVC through discrete commands entered in interface-ATM-VC configuration mode supersede VC class parameters assigned to an ATM PVC or SVC by the class-vc command.

ATM VC Bundle Members

To use this command for assigning a VC class to a VC bundle member, you must first enter the pvc-bundle command to enter bundle-vc configuration mode.

When you create a VC class for a VC bundle member, you can use the following commands to define your parameters: bump, precedence, protect, ubr, ubr+, and vbr-nrt. You cannot use the following commands in vc-class configuration mode to configure a VC bundle member: encapsulation, protocol, inarp, and broadcast. These commands are useful only at the bundle level, not the bundle member level.

Parameters applied to an individual VC supersede bundle-level parameters. Parameters that are directly configured for a VC through discrete commands entered in bundle-vc configuration mode supersede VC class parameters assigned to a VC bundle member by the class-vc command.

Examples

The following sections show examples for applying the class-vc command to ATM PVC, SVC, and VC bundle members.

In the following example, a class called classA is first created and then applied to an ATM PVC:

! The following commands create the class classA:

vc-class atm classA

ubr 10000

encapsulation aal5mux ip

! The following commands apply classA to an ATM PVC:

interface atm 2/0

pvc router5 1/32

class-vc classA

In the following example, a class called classA is first created and then applied to the bundle member called vcmember, a member of bundle1:

! The following commands create the class classA:

vc-class atm classA

precedence 6-5

no bump traffic

protect group

bump explicitly 7

vbr-nrt 20000 10000 32

! The following commands create bundle1, add vcmember to bundle1, and then applies classA

! to vcmember:

bundle bundle1

pvc-bundle vcmember

class-vc classA

Taking into account hierarchy precedence rules, the VC bundle member vcmember will be characterized by these parameters:

•It carries traffic whose IP Precedence level is 6 and 5.

•It does not allow other traffic to be bumped onto it. When the VC goes down, its bumped traffic will be redirected to a VC whose IP Precedence level is 7.

•It is a member of the protected group of the bundle. When all members of a protected group go down, the bundle goes down.

•It has Variable Bit Rate-Non Real Time (VBR-NRT) quality of service traffic parameters.

Given the circuit identifier parameters (VPI and VCI) for the ATM permanent virtual circuit (PVC), the router computes and uses the DXI frame address (DFA) that is used for communication between the router and the ADSU.

The dxi map command can be used only on a serial interface or HSSI configured for ATM-DXI encapsulation.

Examples

The following example converts all IP packets intended for the host with IP address 172.21.170.49 into ATM cells identified with a VPI of 2 (binary 0000 0010) and a VCI of 46 (binary 0000 0000 0010 1110) by the ADSU:

interface serial 0

dxi map ip 172.21.170.49 2 46 broadcast

Using the mapping defined in Annex A of the ATM DXI Specification, the router uses the VPI and VCI information in this example to compute a DFA of 558 (binary 1000101110). The ADSU will use the DFA of the incoming frame to extract the VPI and VCI information when formulating ATM cells.

Related Commands

dxi pvc

To configure multiprotocol or single protocol ATM-Data Exchange Interface (DXI) encapsulation, use the dxi pvc interface configuration command. To disable multiprotocol ATM-DXI encapsulation, use the no form of this command.

dxi pvc vpi vci[snap | nlpid | mux]

no dxi pvc vpi vci[snap | nlpid | mux]

Syntax Description

vpi

ATM network virtual path identifier (VPI) of this PVC, in the range from 0 through 15. The VPI is a 4-bit field in the header of the ATM DXI frame. The VPI value is unique only on a single interface, not throughout the ATM network, because it has local significance only.

Both vpi and vci cannot be specified as 0; if one is 0, the other cannot be 0.

vci

ATM network virtual channel identifier (VCI) of this PVC, in the range from 0 to 63. The VCI is a 6-bit field in the header of the ATM DXI frame. The VCI value is unique only on a single interface, not throughout the ATM network, because it has local significance only.

Both vpi and vci cannot be specified as 0; if one is 0, the other cannot be 0

snap

(Optional) LLC/SNAP encapsulation based on the protocol used in the packet. This keyword defines a PVC that can carry multiple network protocols. This is the default.

nlpid

(Optional) RFC 1294/1490 encapsulation. This option is provided for backward compatibility with the default encapsulation in earlier versions of the Cisco IOS software.

mux

(Optional) MUX encapsulation; the carried protocol is defined by the dxi map command when the PVC is set up. This keyword defines a PVC that carries only one network protocol.

Defaults

LLC/SNAP encapsulation

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

This command can be used only on a serial interface or HSSI that is configured with ATM-DXI encapsulation.

Select the nlpid option if you are using the default encapsulation for software releases earlier than Cisco IOS Release 10.3.

Examples

The following example configures ATM-DXI MUX encapsulation on serial interface 1. The PVC identified by a VPI of 10 and a VCI of 10 can carry a single protocol. Then the protocol to be carried on this PVC is defined by the dxi map command.

interface serial 1

dxi pvc 10 10 mux

dxi map ip 172.21.176.45 10 10 broadcast

The following example configures ATM-DXI NLPID encapsulation on serial interface 1. The PVC identified by a VPI of 11 and a VCI of 12 can carry multiprotocol traffic that is encapsulated with a header described in RFC 1294/1490.

Related Commands

encapsulation aal5

To configure the ATM adaptation layer (AAL) and encapsulation type for an ATM permanent virtual circuit (PVC), switched virtual circuit (SVC), virtual circuit (VC) class, or VC bundle, use the encapsulation aal5 command in the appropriate command mode. To remove an encapsulation from a PVC, SVC, VC class, or VC bundle, use the no form of this command.

encapsulation aal5encap [virtual-template number]

no encapsulation aal5encap [virtual-template number]

Note To configure Integrated Local Management Interface (ILMI), QSAAL, or Switched Multimegabit Data Service (SMDS) encapsulations for an ATM PVC, use the pvc command.

Syntax Description

encap

AAL and encapsulation type. When mux is specified, a protocol is required. Possible options for the encap argument are as follows:

auto—For PPP over ATM SVCs only. The auto keyword enables an ATM SVC to use either aal5snap or aal5mux encapsulation.

mux fr-atm-srv—For a MUX-type virtual circuit for Frame Relay-ATM Service Interworking (FRF.8) on the Cisco MC3810.

mux ip—For a MUX-type VC using the IP protocol.

mux ipx—For a MUX-type VC using the IPX protocol.

mux ppp—For a MUX-type virtual circuit running IETF-compliant PPP over ATM. You must use the virtual-templatenumber argument to identify the virtual template. (If you need to establish a virtual template, use the interface virtual-template command.) The mux ppp keyword applies to ATM PVCs only.

Syntax Description

mux vines—For a MUX-type VC using the VINES protocol.

mux voice—For a MUX-type VC for Voice over ATM on the Cisco MC3810 router.

mux xns—For a MUX-type VC using the XNS protocol.

nlpid—Allows ATM interfaces to interoperate with High-Speed Serial Interfaces (HSSIs) that are using an ATM data service unit (ADSU) and running ATM-Data Exchange Interface (DXI). Supported on ATM PVCs only.

Command History

•The mux frame and mux voice options were added for the Cisco MC3810 series router.

12.0(7)T

•The mux fr-atm-srv option was added for the Cisco MC3810 series router.

•The mux frame option was changed to mux frame-relay.

12.1(3)T

The auto option was added to provide encapsulation configuration for PPP over ATM SVCs.

12.1(5)T

The ciscoppp, mux, and snap options were made available in PVC range and PVC-in-range configuration modes.

Usage Guidelines

A VC bundle can have only one encapsulation configured for it: either snap or mux.

Use one of the mux encapsulation options to dedicate the specified PVC to a single protocol; use the snap encapsulation option to multiplex two or more protocols over the same PVC. Whether you select mux or snap encapsulation might depend on practical considerations, such as the type of network and the pricing offered by the network. If the pricing of the network depends on the number of PVCs set up, snap might be the appropriate choice. If pricing depends on the number of bytes transmitted, mux might be the appropriate choice because it has slightly less overhead.

To use this command to configure a VC bundle, first enter the bundle subinterface configuration command to create a new bundle or modify an existing one and to enter bundle configuration mode.

Note When a VC is a member of a VC bundle, configuration using the encapsulation aal5 command in VC class mode no longer applies to the VC. Bundle configuration takes precedence.

When configuring Cisco PPP over ATM, specify the ciscoppp encapsulation for the encap argument and specify the virtual template number.

It is possible to implicitly create a virtual template when configuring Cisco PPP over ATM. In other words, if the parameters of the virtual template are not explicitly defined before you configure the ATM PVC, the PPP interface will be brought up using default values from the virtual template identified. However, some parameters (such as an IP address) take effect only if they are specified before the PPP interface comes up. Therefore, we recommend that you explicitly create and configure the virtual template before configuring the ATM PVC to ensure such parameters take effect.

If you specify virtual template parameters after the ATM PVC is configured, you should enter a shutdown command followed by a no shutdown command on the ATM subinterface to restart the interface, causing the newly configured parameters (such as an IP address) to take effect.

If the encapsulation aal5 command is not explicitly configured on an ATM PVC, SVC, or VC bundle, the VC inherits the following default configuration (listed in order of precedence from lowest to highest):

•Configuration of the encapsulation aal5 command in a VC class assigned to the PVC, PVC bundle, or SVC itself

•Configuration of the encapsulationaal5 command in a VC class assigned to the PVC's, SVC's, or VC bundle's ATM subinterface

•Configuration of the encapsulation aal5 command in a VC class assigned to the PVC's, SVC's, or VC bundle's ATM main interface

•Global default: encap = snap

When configuring a PVC range or an individual PVC within a PVC range, the following options are available:

•encapsulation aal5ciscoppp

•encapsulation aal5mux

•encapsulation aal5snap

Examples

The following example configures an ATM SVC called "chicago" with encapsulation auto. Encapsulation auto enables the SVC to use PPP and either aal5snap or aal5mux encapsulation.

svc chicago

encapsulation aal5auto

The following example configures an ATM PVC with VPI 0 and VCI 33 for a MUX-type encapsulation using IP:

Usage Guidelines

If within the idle timeout period, both the input and output traffic rates are below the minimum-rate, the SVC connection is torn down. The input and output traffic rates are set using the ubr, ubr+, or vbr-nrt command.

If the idle-timeout command is not explicitly configured on an ATM SVC, the SVC inherits the following default configuration (listed in order of next highest precedence):

•Configuration of the idle-timeout command in a VC class assigned to the SVC itself.

•Configuration of the idle-timeout command in a VC class assigned to the SVC's ATM subinterface.

•Configuration of the idle-timeout command in a VC class assigned to the SVC's ATM main interface.

•Global default—The global idle timeout default is the value set using the idle-timeout interface configuration command. If the idle-timeout command is not configured, the default idle timeout is 300 seconds, and the minimum-rate is 0 kbps.

Examples

The following example configures an ATM SVC connection inactive after an idle period of 300 seconds. The SVC connection is also configured so that it is considered inactive if the traffic rate is less than 5 kbps.

12.1(5)T

Support for Cisco 7100, 7200, and 7500 series routers was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5)T.

Usage Guidelines

The minimum number of links that should be active for continued group operation depends upon the applications you are using and the speeds they require. ATM frame size and the number of links in a group affect the overhead required by ATM.

Examples

The following example specifies that two links in IMA group 2 must be operational in order for the group to remain in service:

interface atm 0/ima2

ima active-links-minimum 2

Syntax Description

common

The transmit clocks for all the links in the group are derived from the same source.

port

When you choose a common clock source, also specify the link that will provide clocking for the IMA group, which is called the common link. If the common link fails, the system automatically chooses one of the remaining active links to provide clocking.

independent

The transmit clock source for at least one link in the IMA group is different from the clock source used by the other links.

Defaults

The default value is common. If no port is specified, the system automatically chooses an active link to provide clocking.

12.1(5)T

Support for Cisco 7100, 7200, and 7500 series routers was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5)T.

Usage Guidelines

This command controls the clock for the IMA group as a whole. If all the links in the group share a clock source, use the common keyword. If all the links use different clock sources, use the independent clock source keyword.

When the common keyword is set, the clock source ATM interface configuration command for the common link determines clocking for all the links in the group.When the independent keyword is set, the clock source ATM interface configuration command is used under each interface to determine clocking individually.

Because the system automatically chooses a replacement for the common link when it fails, any link in an IMA group potentially can provide the recovered transmit clock. For this reason, even when the common keyword is set with a specific link stipulated by the port value, you should use the ATM interface configuration clock source command to make sure that the clock source is configured correctly on each interface in the IMA group.

Examples

The following example specifies that the links in IMA group 2 use a common clock source on link 0:

12.1(5)T

Support for Cisco 7100, 7200, and 7500 series routers was integrated into Cisco IOS Release 12.1(5)T.

Usage Guidelines

This command helps control latency in ATM-layer traffic by setting a limit on how much latency the slowest link in the group is allowed to introduce (a slower link has a longer propagation delay—for example, due to a longer path through the network or less accurate physical layer clocking—than other links). Setting a high value allows a slow link to continue operating as part of the group, although such a setting means there is added delay to links across the group. A low setting may result in less latency for traffic across the group than a high setting, but it can mean that the system takes a slow link out of operation, reducing total bandwidth.

When a link has been removed from service, it is automatically placed back in service when it meets the delay differential standard. If a link delay exceeds the specified maximum, the link is dropped; otherwise, the IMA feature adjusts for differences in delays so that all links in a group are aligned and carry ATM-layer traffic.

Examples

The following example specifies that the links in IMA group 2 have a maximum differential delay of 50 ms:

interface atm0/ima2

ima differential-delay-maximum 50

Usage Guidelines

Frame length can affect performance, because the greater the total number of frames required to communicate a given number of cells, the greater the overhead for header and other control cells. In addition, shorter frame lengths might diminish performance when translated ATM-Frame Relay interworking occurs.

Examples

On Cisco 7100 and 7200 series routers, the following example specifies that the links in IMA group 2 have a frame length of 64 cells:

Usage Guidelines

To verify link and group connectivity, the pattern is sent from the specified link and looped back from the receiving end across all links belonging to the group as defined at the remote end. Verifying link and group connectivity can help troubleshoot physical link connectivity or configuration problems at the remote end. The local end verifies that the pattern is returned on all links belonging to the group at the local end, and testing is continuous. An IMA control protocol (ICP) cell in each frame identifies the pattern.

When a link is not transmitting or receiving a pattern correctly, the command reports the link number where the problem exists.

This command is supported for aal5snap encapsulation only when Inverse ARP is enabled. Refer to the encapsulation command for configuring aal5snap encapsulation and the protocol command for enabling Inverse ARP.

If the inarp command is not explicitly configured on an ATM PVC, the PVC inherits the following default configuration (listed in order of precedence):

•Configuration of the inarp command in a VC class assigned to the PVC itself.

•Configuration of the inarp command in a VC class assigned to the PVC's ATM subinterface.

•Configuration of the inarp command in a VC class assigned to the PVC's ATM main interface.

•Global default for the minutes argument is 15 minutes; this default assumes that Inverse ARP is enabled.

Note As the inheritance rules imply, when a VC is a member of a VC bundle, configuration using the inarp command in VC class configuration mode no longer applies to that VC. Bundle configuration takes precedence.

For ATM VC bundle management, the Inverse ARP parameter can only be enabled at the bundle level and applied to all VC members of the bundle—that is, it cannot be enabled in bundle-vc configuration mode for individual VC bundle members. To use this command in bundle configuration mode, first enter the bundle command to create the bundle and enter bundle configuration mode.

Usage Guidelines

This command is useful for testing because it loops all packets from the ATM interface back to the interface as well as directing the packets to the network.

Use the loopback line command to check that the PA-A3 port adapter is working by looping the receive data back to the transmit data.

Examples

The following example loops all packets back to the ATM interface:

interface atm 4/0

Usage Guidelines

This command is only available when SMDS encapsulation is configured on a PVC.

Use this command to assign different ranges of message identifiers to different PVCs.

Examples

In the following example, the atm mid-per-vc command limits the maximum number of message identifiers to 32 for each VC on the ATM interface. Using the mid command, the selected range of numbers that are available for the message identifiers on PVC 1/40 is 0 to 31. For PVC 2/50, the range is 32 to 63.

Usage Guidelines

To support synchronous or synchronous residual time stamp (SRTS) clocking modes on the CBR interface, you must specify a primary reference source to synchronize the flow of CBR data from its source to its destination.

You can specify up to four clock priorities. The highest priority active interface in the router supplies primary reference source to all other interfaces that require network clock synchronization services. The fifth priority is the local oscillator on the ATM-CES port adapter.

Use the show network-clocks command to display currently configured clock priorities on the router.
